My Chosen One | Monica Vinader Jewelry

It’s the month of Love and I love celebrating Love!

After the toil of our move last week, Kyle and I went on a little afternoon date together - just a drive through the beauty of our city, like we did on our second date. It’s literally been 5 years, almost to the day, since we drove through the windy roads of Mulholland Drive and soaked in the sunset. We got a couple of burgers and milkshakes at In N Out, put our sunglasses on, put the top down on our convertible, and just drove under the gorgeous, sunny day. We found a dirt pullout at the top of Mulholland Dr., just past Laurel Canyon, and we sat with our food with a little music in the background and watched the blood orange sun set over the horizon.

I’m wearing jewelry by Monica Vinader, a luxurious British jewelry brand that’s carries exquisite, inspired pieces with multiple collections fitting every style and mood. I’ve been a fan of the brand for some time, because I love how they incorporate real stones and diamonds into simply beautiful and refined designs that’s wearable for every day and the quality is truly amazing for its price point. I’ve gifted Monica Vinader jewelry to my friends for a special birthday or wedding, like this cute friendship bracelet that goes with anyone’s style. Recently, I had Kyle help me pick out a few styles for myself (there’s just so much from their collections that are pretty, it’s impossible for my indecisive brain to pick just a couple!) and we narrowed it down to these three pieces that I feel I could wear for a lifetime. I had to have the Fiji Hoop Earrings, because it’s my favorite minimal style to wear daily, and I’m so glad I went with the diamond ring and the diamond bracelet. Besides my engagement and wedding ring, I didn’t have any other diamond piece to wear, so I got the Signature Diamond Ring, which is surprisingly affordable with the pave diamonds. Out of all the pieces from their collections, I think this ring would be the perfect gift to yourself (or a hint to your SO) for Valentine’s Day! The Riva Diamond Bracelet is also so gorgeous as the pave setting takes the shape of an elegant wave — it’s unique, yet classic. I’m thrilled to have these timeless jewelry pieces in my collection from a brand I love and I know you’ll fall in love too once you receive your first Monica Vinader piece!

Intimate moments like our afternoon date, that are spontaneous and effortless, are the kind I love to spend with my husband. I’m not keen on going to the newest and nicest restaurant or having to be front row at a show; the simpler the date, the better, as long as it’s just the two of us. In this simplest moment, when there is nothing else going on to feed our attention and it’s only me and him, we’re at our happiest and at our most connected. This was how I knew he was The One for me 3 years ago. Nothing else in the world mattered in the space between us and time was completely irrelevant for that moment together. Even when there was silence, silence can be the most spoken for when you’re hand-in-hand and it's filled with the comfort, the ease, and the sensibility in being none other than yourself. I feel lucky to be able to experience this kind of moment with Kyle and it’s one of the reasons why I know I’ve chosen my One.
